First birthday without cake



Recommended Posts

Today is my birthday and it will be my first birthday without cake ever! And I'm ok with that! I'm 8.5 months out and I've been through all the holidays without even having a bite of something bad. Today is no different. In the past, I would have had to have a cake and I would haven't eaten several pieces a day until it was gone. No more of that. Going to enjoy my day knowing that I am 110 lbs lighter. No piece of cake is worth that!!!!

So I have to say it...

Going all day without a "piece of cake" is really, JUST a piece of cake, right? I made a comment yesterday on here about icing on the cake or something like that, funny...we just can't get away from the foods that are bad :D

Something new to wear and show off the new you would be so much better than cake. The cake would just end up in the toilet (HAHA)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
